What is Profhilo?
Profhilo is an innovative, injectable skin treatment designed to improve skin hydration, elasticity, and overall appearance. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that are used to add volume, Profhilo is a bio-remodeling treatment that works by stimulating collagen and elastin production, helping to improve skin tone, texture, and hydration. It contains a high concentration of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that retains moisture and promotes healthy skin.
​
How Does Profhilo Work?
Profhilo is injected into specific points in the skin, and its unique formulation allows it to spread evenly across the skin. Once injected, the hyaluronic acid in Profhilo stimulates the natural production of collagen and elastin. Over time, this process helps to improve skin elasticity, reduce the appearance of sagging, and enhance overall skin hydration, resulting in a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance.

​
What Areas Can Be Treated?
Profhilo can be used on various areas of the body, including:
-
Face: Commonly used to target signs of aging in the mid and lower face.
-
Neck: Helps to address sagging and wrinkling in the neck area.
-
Hands: Rejuvenates the hands by enhancing skin texture and hydration.
-
Decolletage: Treats crepiness and signs of aging in the chest area.
​
Treatment Plan and Expectations
A typical Profhilo treatment plan involves two to three initial sessions spaced four weeks apart. For optimal results, it is often recommended to have maintenance treatments every 6–12 months. After each session, you can expect:
-
Immediate Hydration: You may notice improved hydration right away, with skin feeling softer and more supple.
-
Gradual Lifting and Firming: As collagen and elastin are stimulated over time, the skin may appear firmer and more youthful.
​
What to Expect During the Procedure
The procedure involves several small injections, usually at five specific points on each side of the face or other treated areas. The treatment is generally well-tolerated, with minimal discomfort so a topical anesthetic is usually not required.
​
Aftercare Tips
-
Avoid Touching the Treated Area: Avoid touching or massaging the area or applying makeup for at least 12 hours after treatment. This reduces the risk of infection.
-
Limit Sun Exposure and Heat: Avoid excessive sun exposure and tanning beds and saunas for 24 hours post procedure.
-
No Strenuous Exercise: Avoid vigorous exercise for 24 hours post-treatment to prevent swelling or bruising.​
-
Avoid Alcohol for 24 hours prior to the procedure.
​
Potential Side Effects
While Profhilo is generally considered safe, minor side effects may include:
-
Redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site
-
Mild tenderness or itching
These effects usually subside within a few hours to a few days. Serious side effects are rare, but if you experience any severe reactions, contact your the clinic immediately.
